same tire size all around 19's

i just put some fuzion zri's on my coupe 19's and i put 245/35/19's all around, the tire shop said i shouldnt have any problems with doing that but when i was driving on the freeway the car swayed alot more than usual, it also wanted to pull to the right. Is this the cause of putting the same sizes tires all around? or do i need to do an alignment, and also what problems if any will i encounter as a result of doing this
thanks in advance
Ash

Sounds like you need an alignment considering you mentioned the car is pulling to the right.

I would go with a staggered set up. IMHO it looks better.

It is unlikely that it is due to the same size tire all around. Start with with an alignment like the guy above mentioned. It is possible that the tire is causing this pulling though, if you were driving on a HWY that has grooves ground into the surface that are aligned with the direction of travel.

^^^ +1. Could be a radial pull from one of the tires.

I'm getting ready to mount coupe 19s on my sedan. I decided to go with 235/35 at the front and 245/35 at the rear. The way you have your car set up don't the rear tires look stretched more than the fronts?

As everybody has already stated, your alignment got knocked off by using different sizes... 40-50bucks at a shop should fix it
